sun had made its appearance, and the
day promised to be fair. Two or three
hundred persons who had gathered
upon the platform waved salute
and the train pulled away. Besides

passengers are Colonel Lamont, w. S.
Bissell, of Buffalo, and DIR. J.. d.
Bryant, of New York, together with
two journalists representing the press
